The new EP is a departure from the 2018 EP Man On A Bridge with a more fast and power driven post-punk sound. The new EP is influenced by bands such as Protomartyr, Cloud Nothings and Placebo.

Sever tracks have got airplay on a number of independent radio stations and playlists over the past number of months in the EPs release.
